Hi, I’ve spent some time now on Google looking for a local or mail-order service to fix a broken screen for Apple Watch gen 2 38mm. All I found so far are places that would exchange the watch for $200+. I’ve seen plenty of parts online, why is nobody offering it? Cheers, Alex
I can’t speak for anybody else…but this is why I don’t offer the service: Replacement Screen - 180$. Granted I could get it cheaper wholesale but that’s a lot of money just for the screen and we haven’t even talked about shipping costs, inventory, warranty, labor, profits… It’s hard enough to get people to spend 100-150$ to fix an iPhone, there’s not much appetite to spend 200$ + to fix a $269 watch.
Parts are not cheap due to limited supply, and thus demand. With parts and labor this expensive, most people would just spend a couple dollars more to get Apple official repair, which guarantees parts quality and all functions repaired. https://support.apple.com/watch/repair/s…
